Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6, or if using an air fryer, heat it to 180°C for 3 minutes. Place the apples, frozen cranberries, spices and sugar in a 22 cm square baking dish and mix well. If using an air fryer, add 2 tbsp water, cover and cook for 10–12 minutes until the fruit is soft.

2. 2

   For the crumble, rub the flour and cold unsalted butter between your fingers until you achieve a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add the sugar and spice mix, stir. Sprinkle the crumble in an even layer over the fruit, then bake for 35–40 minutes or air‑fry for 10–15 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. Let it cool slightly, then serve warm.
